Caesar's Challenge was an underrated gem of a show (IMO), and he was a fairly big part of that.
As I've said numerous times, CC was either 5 years too early or too late. IMO, in 1988 it runs for a few years on NBC; in 1998 it gets a few seasons on basic cable. It was a fun game that deserved a longer run, and I'm surprised it didn't get revived at some point in the late-90s. And yes, Ahmad was just as great a host here as he was with NBC Sports and
Inside the NBA.
As for GSN's originals, they're a little undercooked but digestible. It seems the producers want Youtube and promotional content as opposed to a solid format. I guess that's just the era we live in now. That said,
America Says has grown on me a lot, and
Chain Reaction actually has me yelling at the TV for reasons other than the contestants being clueless.
